It's not the most logical thing to run a horse who's never raced around two-turns, 10 furlongs for the first time, off a layoff, against top horses.
Still, this horse doesn't need a prep to win that race. I still think he'll probably be entered in the World Cup, and if he is, he will humiliate whoever he faces and win with supreme ease.

I really don't expect him in the gate in the World Cup and honestly he shouldn't be there. Secretariat would have had a tough time running two turns and 10 furlongs for the first time off a four month layoff. They now have their excuse to run him in the Mile instead.
